I think I did it by trial and error.
it does matter, but I just plugged it in to see if it worked, it didn't, so I plugged it into the other and it worked.
I would guess the same thing, I would guess brown is ground

Heh, nope... Black goes to the yellow, red goes to brown wink1.gif
I found the ballasts make a buzzing sound when I first turn them on, then it's barely audible after about 5 seconds. Also, when I turn them on, it flashes kinda bright, then dims immediately, then gradually gets brighter again, all taking about 5 seconds. Is this normal?
They look amazing, but I think I want to get HID fogs now too...

yeah, probably normal. They have to warm up a little bit to get to brightness. Be careful, they become hot INSTANTANEOUSLY... I kept the styrofoam on it when I hooked it up and it burned a hole in it within 3 seconds

That's not how to set it up. ALL of those connectors go to the ballast. the power hookup is correct though.

This is the proper way to set it up.

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">NEVER upgrade a fuse. Use Jay-M's relay kit to hook up power correctly from the battery</span>. That's a sure fire way to prepare your car for an electrical fire. The manufacturer chose those fuses to protect the wiring based on the ammount of power the wire can handle.
